I voted for a nDMB, but Crush would be fun. Are instrumentals okay?

I would vote for One Sweet World or So Much to Say simply because I haven't learned any of the above mentioned songs. If Billies and the Stone were the previous contests, that seems to be a simple contest of the elites because those songs are difficult to learn in the first place, much less to toss a unique angle to the song.

I would vote for something easy. Is Crush simple enough to learn in a few days? (Note, I am a beginner, not planning on winning)

So...what's the word here? Looks like a toss-up between Crush and Spoon. When is this poll scheduled to end?

Crush and Spoon are excellent, but too soft for a cover contest...well crush isn't but that's beside my point: Let's get some jammin' in, maybe some SMTS or WWYS, my vote goes for those two.

I'll repeat my vote.

RECENTLY!!!!!!!

But anything'll do.

Oh, and it's not easy being green.

warehouse! yes, it is a mildly diffcult song, I just love it too much. I voted for captain, since I like playing that one most out of them int he list.

Personally, as amazing as they are, I'm pretty tired of the professional sounding covers. You will rarely see a band do a studio recording of a cover; exceptions include old songs being punkified. Covers are for dazzling a live audience, and exist for performance sake....All Along the Watchtower is a great example. Now I know somebody is going to prove me wrong....whatever.

I know this is all for fun, but the last cover I did, The Stone, was a single take, it took quite a few times to get decent, and I didn't spend time tweeking or making each phrase perfect. I was just playing and singing at the same time into a mic.

So, after 20 takes, when I think it's good, I post it up for the contest to find that everyone's made "professional" recordings. What a bummer that was to hear how great everyone's covers were......but, correct me if I'm wrong, the top three were all multi-track recordings. Now I too can sit at a computer and sing a phrase at a time until it's perfect, and then edit out the sound of breathing, and fool around with an equalizer, but that is not what covers are about. So, for covers' sake, can we please do a contest that takes showmanship into account. If we want to have a "studio producer" contest that's one thing, but in my opinion a cover contest should be an entirely different thing.

Oh, and I know you guys can still kick my ass with a one track contest, but at least it would be more fun.

Thanks for reading through that.
